摘要：
Based on the Sambot platform, the authors presented a distributed control method for the self-assembly in swarm robots, and with the method, implemented the experiment on the self-assembly for the quadruped configuration consisting of 5 Sambots. When using the control method, the autonomous docking of each robot with the seed robot just depends on the local perception and the communication ability of the infrared sensors, and the robots' behaviors of wandering, navigation and autonomous docking. The experimental results show that the control method for self-assembly can be used to realize the autonomous construction of robotic structures consisting of multiple Sambot.
